    Capture video to wmv with DirectShow

    Hello!

    We are trying to change the "amcap" example from msdn-DirectShow so that it saves the file as .wmv instead of .avi. According to the msdn it shouldnt be much difference between capture to .avi and .wmv. But when we have tried to run the graph with .wmv we get this strange error message (0x80004005).

    Here is the code to capture asf:
    Code:
    hr = gcap.pBuilder->SetOutputFileName(&MEDIASUBTYPE_Asf, L"C:\\capture.wmv",
            &gcap.pRender, NULL);    
    	if(hr != NOERROR) {
            ErrMsg(TEXT("Cannot set output file"));
            goto SetupCaptureFail;
    }
    
    
    hr = gcap.pRender->QueryInterface(IID_IConfigAsfWriter,(void**)&pConfig);
    if(hr == NOERROR && pConfig) {	
    	pConfig->Release();        
    }
    Any help is appreciated.

    Code Tags

    I am posting this because you did not use code tags on this thread. In the furture please use Code Tags. They make your code MUCH easier to read and people will be much more likely to help you if you do. And they'll be happy about helping you


    For example:

    Without code tags:

    for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
    cout << "No code tags are bad";
    }

    With Code Tags:
    Code:
    for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
         cout << "This code is easy to read";
    }
    This is of course a basic example...more complicated code is even easier to read with code tags than without.

    I've added code tags for you this time. They can be added by putting [code] at the beginning of your code and [/code] at the end. More information on code tags may be found at the link in my signature. Any further questions or ways I can help please feel free to PM me.
